On Monday in the morning, I go to work.

I know other ways to say that, but I want to say specifically this sentence.

Please answer only if you are a native!

Yeah you can say that, but there are more grammatically correct ways of saying it, such as the ones above. You could always put a comma after Monday so it reads:

On Monday, in the morning, I go to work.'

This would make 'in the morning' a subordinate clause, which is where the sentence would make sense without it.

You need a comma after Monday, but it sounds incredibly awkward.



"On Monday, in the morning, I go to work." Is how it should read.

Not necessarily, but I know what you're TRYING to say. You need to add a future tense word such as "will" go to work.



Grammatically speaking, it should read: I will go to work on Monday morning.

It technically is correct but it's more often said like this:



"On Monday morning I go to work."



or,



"I go to work on Monday morning."

it's not incorrect but it sounds awkward it would flow more naturally if it said "On monday mornings I go to work"

Yes, that sounds fine.
